Passionate about students, learning and leadership, but more specifically:
- restorative practices
- collaborative problem-solving
- appreciative inquiry
- technology and learning
- critical inquiry
On my “free” time, I love to read (professional readings and a good mystery or two, especially Dennis Lehane), watch movies with my hubby, spend time with the family, window shop and more recently, blog!


Just wanted to say I love your daughter’s photos of nature – the icicles, the turtle, and the bank of snow with those two lone twigs. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Elaine – very kind of you to say. She’s a source of pride for sure. Now we just need to get enough frames to get her photos on the wall!
Take care,
Erin
